Book draft 2017 Jan 7

I’ll be releasing an updated version of the Applied Electronics for Bioengineers text on LeanPub today. I’ll probably raise the minimum price next week, to reflect the improved quality, but I’ll give people a few days to get the book at the old price. (Remember that the LeanPub model allows you to get all future editions of the book free, as long as I continue publishing through them, so there is no reason to wait until a new edition comes out.)

I’ll list the changes in two sections: changes that were made since the October 2016 release, then changes that were made in the Oct 2016 release (because I don’t seem to have posted those to the blog).

Changes since October 2016

Fleshed out assignment schedule and moved to Preface.

Rearranged several of the early chapters (without significant content change) for better ordering of assignments.

Revised all chapters and labs from the microphone chapter to the EKG lab (the second half of the course). Many of the changes were minor revisions (typo fixes, indexing, changing to numbered exercises, spell check).

Added exercises to the microphone chapter and moved some exercises from the microphone lab to the microphone chapter.

Moved some of the oscilloscope introduction from the microphone lab to the sampling lab.

Rewrote DC analysis of microphone to use function generator, rather than potentiometer, for variable voltage.

Added R+L figure to loudspeaker chapter, rather than referring to impedance chapter.
